I’ve never tried a muskrat pattern. Seems redundant to me. But I’ve sorta been wanting to try one just to see what all the fuss is about.
I never had thought about it until I was thinking about it for the wife, she only uses the main blade on her case 18 pattern stockman. So a muskrat would give her two of what she likes in similar size handles. Now the wheels are turning.
Course she already cycles through 4 pocket knives, a case mini copperlock, case mini trapper, the case 18 pattern stockman, and a buck mini Texas toothpick. She ain’t even a knife nut.
She also only uses the clip blade on her mini trapper, though I’m trying to open her world up to spey blades... aka the clean blade.
